There are so many different flags in those pictures. It makes wonder if the church either owns or meets in some kind of school. It's possible the church owns the school or is meeting at a local school while the church is being built or renovated. I heard of Catholic churches doing both. (One church I know used to meet in a local school until their building was built and completed.)

Looked it up: Soju is a Taurus.

Kaylee's make-up isn't her best look. (It's actually the worst make-up I've seen her wear). However it's nothing compared to what we've seen from her mother and Nurie over the years. She doesn't however look like a hooker. Most make-up wearing ladies would have gone out if they thought it looked good. The lip color is a little strong, especially for a close-up of her face. I had dark lipstick like that to appear on stage to be seen from off stage.

Vanessa Vanjie Mateo's look with the scales was my favorite on the runway. She is a Libra herself (I looked it up), so @OhSayNow is probably right. Mercedes's stroke story was sad and feels worse coming on the heels of Luke Perry's tragic passing. I like Mercedes and I hope she does better in the competition.

Why didn't they do the zodiac theme runway when they had twelve queens?

She also made statements/comments about their minsionary work. Basically it's hard, because the Greeks want to practice the wrong form of Christianity, but she believes they will prevail. If I were JB, I would ditch the courtship since her comments will blow up in their faces and she seems like the next Derick.

The Maxwells are promising some kind of big announcement on the 18th of this month (March).

If you read back a page on the Sweet Fellowship forum, Cynthia Jeub says the same thing about her parents. That children were meant to serve the parents and not the other way around. I have known fundies in real life and can say that's true and it's one of the main things that defines fundies.

I wouldn't say she's clapping back. She's making unfortunate comments about the greeks and making them/herself look bad in the process (on Reddit).

She's angling or her parents are angling for her? It doesn't look like Kendra's sister to me. Is that her? This whole trip is odd to me. The Forsyth parents are taking a bunch of kids on vacation/missionary trip. The girls looked older than the boys.

I notice the Bates boys as well.

Well we know the Swansons were at Zach Bates's original wedding (as opposes to the vow renewal), because there is a picture of Lauren Swanson at Zach and Whitney's December wedding. It's clearly Lauren. I keep saying the Swansons as IBLP as any of them. So it could be Josie Balka's wedding.

@floridamom I could see the bored thing. I get the same impression everytime the Maxwells' daughter Anna tackles another project. As for Michelle and JB, Michelle once said that JB is great kisser. It was on her list of 100 things she loves about him, a much higher number than he lead us in prayer and the pledge of allegiance. Maybe his breath was worse than usual.

Yvie Oddly enters the workroom in a slinky green gown with a black feather boa driven by a remote control green car. The boa is attached to her train behind her dress. Honey Davenport: "So she's House Slytherin." Miss Vangie pops out behind the screen. Scarlett Envy "I feel like I should start looking around for anyone else in here." Looks under the table.

While I did find Silky a bit much, I was impressed her outfit looked as good as it did, considering how much of the time she wasn't focused. I think they must have had more time than they showed. Soju's outfit really contricted her movements. It would have benefitted her to have some reveal/body suit underneath. I wish her good luck with her career!

I'm so happy the show is here. These queens are amazing! So much talent! I love how this show knows how to honor it's history. The idea of luggage left by the previous queens is so cute! Kahanna Montrese's look was the worst imo. Right now my favorites include Plastique Tiara (house of Edwards), Shuga Cain, A'Keria, Honey Davenport (love her drag daughters: Bob, and Monet) and Miss Vanjie.

Joshua Bontrager has a new blog post up. It's about the ten things they did in their courtship that prepared them for marriage. (He's been married 1.5 years.) It includes making Jesus the center of the relationship, praying together, fasting, getting to know each other, not really touching each other, doing farm chores and his "learning to lead" his wife. He reminds me of Derick only younger, fundier, etc.

The whole "don't say pregnant" was some weird network thing that was decided by CBS, who took the word out of the script. Neither the I Love Lucy writers/producers/stars nor the priest, minister, and rabbi (who read over the exact script to make sure it wasn't offensive) objected to word, and they all thought CBS was "weird." She looks a little like Cousin Emily, but I wasn't sure that was her. Emily is Michelle's sister's granddaughter and her father is Michelle's nephew Will. He runs a ministry for men with Dwain Swanson (Josiah's father-in-law.)

I always think jumpsuits on adults are a strange look. But Jill looks good in the jumpsuit. It gives her figure an hourglass shape, and the color doesn't bother me. She doesn't look "thick" to me. I'm not crazy about the sweater, but the outfit looks fine to me. She looks happy with the clothes, so good for her.

I think it's just the lighting. Either that or face gets a lot more sun which is probable given it's winter.

So Jinger posted of Felicity drinking her decaf coffee. The internet is speculating Jinger is drinking decaf, because she might be pregnant.

We also know that Jessa is due in June, thanks to Guinn. Jessa's baby is due a few weeks before Lauren's first anniversary (June still spring.)

I don't agree with this. I think the Duggars are necessary, because they're consistently one of the most watched shows in the history of the network. Anything pre-Duggars is pretty much gone. (A possible exception is Kate and right now her family is starting to split and that will hurt their image. ) Shows like SYTTD and Cake Boss has lost their steam. TLC has tried to find new hits and a lot of those have failed. TLC has been able to find new conservative families and yet somehow the Duggars are the most successful of all those other families. They had the Bates, the Willises, the Putnams(?),etc. Most of the other polygamists families were a lot like the Duggars in many ways. But who's watching these shows might be harder to gage.? Yes the Duggars have conservative fans, but also snarkers, bored people, people who just think huge families are interesting, etc. I think a lot of "conservatives" may be watching at least some of the other shows as well. My fundie-lite friends were obsessed with Sister Wives (the Browns.) I also wouldn't be sure who watches the medical shows including the "fat" people.

I don't recognize the first people, but Abbie, John David, Jeremy and Jinger are all featured wearing the same clothes as in the pumpkin/Thanksgiving video suggesting they filmed it on the same day with different props.

Speaking of Jill R, she got to hang with the Bontragers not too long along ago. Allison Bontrager wrote about her Valentines Day for the blog. She's single so she spent the day sending messages to everyone she knows. A lot of her ideas and messages seemed sweet. It did seem a little odd that she wrote messages to her single brothers from their future wives. The Botkin sisters are angry with a reviewer who wrote a bad review of one of their books...... ten years ago! They wrote her a letter and everything. The details are on Patheos.
